In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

163 Finding the real culprit (Part 2)

The name was never embedded deeply in Henry. As much as he hated how many antagonists came into Anne’s life, he had forgotten about Rosy altogether; he remembered the act but called her the jealous woman who tried to destroy Anne’s future.

“Miss Rosy? That was odd. I never heard Nathan write the name for the permit to go back to the capital.” Said Nathan to the knight. He even doubled check the permit sheet. “See, there was no Rosy’s name on the list.”

“She gave us the healthy checks pass. I thought it meant everyone could get out of the encampment?” The guard now seems more confused than before.

Enraged, Henry slammed the table. “Idiot! That healthy pass was intended for the guards only! Healers, alchemists, mages, and knights still need to get permission from their direct superior!”

The fear in the knight’s eyes was real. This is his first encounter with Captain Henry. His reputation wasn’t the one that his friends informed him of. There’s no warmth in his eyes. He never smiles and the blue color in his eyes, the color of the ice, felt with coldness.

Henry let out a sigh, “You should go to every gate and inform the knight about this mishap, remember, only the guards who get permission to get out of the encampment with a healthy pass only, the other jobs need to apply for another permit.”

“Right away, my lord! I… I mean captain!” He stormed out of the room as soon as possible.

“God, Henry, what did you do to that poor knight? He was terrified.” Vale, who happened just came inside the room saw the knight who run away with a fresh fear on his face.

Chuckling, He shakes his head, “I gave him a bit of a lesson about listening and acting as a good knight, that’s all.” He then looks at the primary captain mage. “What are you doing here, anyway?”

.....

Vale raised a bottle of Aggrus with a grin on his face. “A peace offering?” he turned his head to another person behind him. “Also, Brom, tell me about another conversation that you wanted to have with him.”

Brom came inside the room and look around, “This is a good place to talk, shall we do it now?”

“You two always barge in as you wish,” Gruntled Henry, even though he pointed at the chairs in front of him, “Just take the chairs, I have the glass here.”

Not a minute later, Vale is already pouring the drink into the glass while Brom initiates a conversation with Henry.

“So, what kind of dream that you had? I’ve heard from the primary captain that it was severe…” He paused for a moment and then said, “I’m sorry to say that it was already affecting your body.”

Henry stared into the window beside him, remembering one of his countless nightmares. “I remember it like it was yesterday, the first time I got the nightmare. Two years ago, after the devastating loss of Viora village, we came back to the capital feeling defeated and even lost the woman that the four of us share a moment with.” He took a sip of the aggrus and continued on, “The first night we got back, all of us were drinking in the bar, staring at the items that we had given to Anne, after a while, I just grab the necklace with the crystal blade pendant in it.”

“I remember the night also, my heart has broken when she let go of everything and put it on the table, we kind of crushed that night at the pub.” Vale said with a slight smile on his face, “You left early, saying that you need some rest, right?”

“Yes, I kind of regret it now, that first nightmare… I’ll never forget the feeling that I got, the chills.” He shivered even from the memory alone.

Brom, on the other hand, just looked as usual bored self and demanded Henry tell him the nightmare.

Henry glared at the weird mage captain. “Fine! My nightmare was about being killed in every way possible, satisfied?!”

Ignoring the annoyance from Henry’s voice, Brom seems intrigued about his dream. “Oh, interesting nightmare? So, tell me about the scenario of your dream, was it clear or…”

“If you mean did I see the person’s face? No, the face blurred, even though the method of the killing was different sometimes.” Said Henry to Brom. He took another sip of the aggrus, feeling the sweet and sour taste complimented together in their mouth. The favorite drink of the kingdom, even though no one really knew the history of aggrus. “Oh, but I think the one who killed me, always the same though, a male, never a female.”

“Hmm… So, it wasn’t a female? I wished our nightmare will be connected, but I don’t think so.” Said Brom, the disappointment on his face was visible.

“Still, it was probably connected with Anne, don’t you think?” Vale gives them another thought of another possibility. Henry glanced at Vale, and knowing him, he explained that Brom already told them about the witch of the mountain visit, “It begins two years ago as well, although your nightmare seems to occur every night, while Anne and Brom don’t.”

“In another hand, if you think clearly, everything always goes to her, every connection, always directed at the girl who came from another world.” Muttered Brom, his eyes looking at the ceiling. No one really knows what is inside his head. “Let me ask both of you something. Did you think Anne was dangerous or not?”

Vale and Henry look at each other and are very troubled by Brom’s seemingly innocent question.

“Gods! Brom, what kind of question was that?!” Said, Henry. He still couldn’t believe the question that came from the weird magi captain. While Vale went quiet and had nothing to say, Brom took a glance at his primary captain and knew he was also thinking the same way.

Another hour went by, and when Justice was sitting inside the patient’s room, thankfully Bernard already getting better and being transferred into a private room, he was looking at the crown prince who took some of his documents and put them inside his tent. Justice was determined to accompany him for a while.

“Must you do it inside my tent, your majesty?” Asked Bernard with a sigh.

“Don’t mind me, old man, just take your d*mn rest,” Justice replied to him, even though his eyes were focusing on his documents.

“Ugh… I’m fine, Justice. You should take some rest as well.” Bernard gruntled and gave the crown prince his back.

Ten minutes later, Justice heard a snore coming from Bernard’s bed, “Good, he was fine now.” Said Justice to himself. He took his documents and carefully left Bernard’s tent.

While on his way back to his tent, Xavier came to him with a pale face.

“Justice! something terrible has happened!”

With a frown on his face, Justice tried to calm Xavier, “Alright, take a deep breath, Xavier. What happened?”

“The group who goes back to the capital… Oh, Gods! They… they were being attacked!”
